Prehistorica:
The Dawn Kingdoms is a place where you can role play one of these majestic
creatures such as a Apatosaurus, or a Triceratops or even a Tyrannosaurus rex!.
I have never seen a sim such as this on second life so I was very curious to
explore and see what it was all about.
Before heading
there I did some research on some specific type of dinosaurs that can be found
on the sim. History books say that dinosaurs first appeared about 225 million
years ago. What caused their extinction is still up for debate. The only thing
we can do is marvel at the fossils discovered and wonder how they lived based
on the clues they left behind.
Scientists divide this era into 3 periods: the Triassic,
Jurassic and Cretaceous. The Apatosaurus dinosaur lived in the late jurassic
period. They were herbivore with a long neck and tail and Triceratops where the
largest of the horned dinosaurs. It’s one
of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs and the best known ceratopsid. When I think of one of the scariest dinosaur
that once ruled earth’s landscape ,it is
the Tyrannosaurus or better known as a T-Rex.
The name speaks for itself.
Can
you imagine if they still existed today? How different would life be for all of
us?
I would imagine we would be cautious not to
bump into one and become a meal.
At
Prehistorica, we can go back to prehistoric times and be the dinosaur!. How
cool is that?
When you go to the sim you enter the
store where they are a lot of dinosaurs to choose from or you can go right into
the prehistoric world using the time machine. They offer a free dinosaur avatar
or a time traveler outfit there so you can easily immerse yourself into the
theme. Once you get to the time machine
you can pick from 3 places to visit. Cretaceous Canyon, Fossil Beach or
Jurassic jungle. There are other areas at Prehistorica but they are for
residents of the sim only.
I first went to
Cretaceous Canyon and was immediately amazed by what I saw. There are dinosaurs
roaming around like you just stepped back I time. You can hear sounds of them
all around you. I just loved exploring and seeing some of the dinosaurs up
close. To just be able to imagine what it was millions years ago it just
amazing.
Next I visited
Fossil Beach. This was another place
that dinosaurs roamed around freely.
This area of course was surrounded by beach and trees. What a wonderful
place with all the sights and sounds of dinosaurs. I just loved being able to
see what it must have been like while the dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Next I went to
Jurassic Jungle. This is right across
from fossil beach and as the title says it is a Jungle! It has a swamp and fog
all around it and looks so realistic.
The sim is in
the Mesozoic Era...the Age of the Dinosaurs and is educational. This era saw
the rise of iconic dinosaurs and lizards and the breakup of the supercontinent
Pangaea. It spans 252 million years ago
to 66 million years ago. Something I had no idea about so it was nice to
learn something new about theses massive creatures and the scientific findings
and terms that are used today.
Being able to
travel back in time just like that is one of the things I love about Second
life but being able to visit a place such as this is just wonderful.
The beauty of
Second Life is not only what you can buy but also what you can see. If you haven't
already make sure you take a trip to this sim at least once.
